779th Medical Support Squadron –
It's 11 p.m. Your child is running a high fever and can't sleep. Where do you go for help?
The Nurse Advice Line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for free medical information and advice for TRICARE beneficiaries. Dial 1-800-874-2273 (option 1).
You will be connected to a team of registered nurses who can answer a variety of urgent health care questions or help you decide if you should see a health care provider.
"The Nurse Advice Line is a wonderful resource for our TRICARE beneficiaries to utilize for questions and concerns. The team of registered nurses is very knowledgeable and can assist in a number of ways. It's free, so I highly encourage our patients to take advantage of this option for their healthcare needs," said Lt. Col. Jon Geno, 779th Family Health Clinic Flight Commander.
This program is not a substitute for a doctor's visit. In an emergency care situation, you may always call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
If you are unsure of what to do, the Nurse Advice line is simply a phone call away and can help ensure your peace of mind.
